Starchild & The New Romantic’s full-length debut lifts off from the monochrome world of Crucial, his 2016 EP on Ghostly International, up towards a dazzling blood-rush of sky-high defiance and autonomy. On Language, the New York-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist refines his phonics for funk, electro, and R&B, and arrives at a revelation, best summarized by a single motto: “my sensitivity is my strength.”

Out February 23rd, the album can be pre-ordered in limited edition black & red vinyl.

As our release calendar comes to a close, there is much to reflect on. 2017 brought return LPs from Shigeto and Com Truise, a glowing debut from Kllo, three LPs from Patricia, a spatial audio album from Christopher Willits (the first ever of its kind on Ghostly). Further explorations on cassette (Mary Lattimore, Heathered Pearls, Lord RAJA), and dozens more stories and statements from artists we’ve been so fortunate to consider family. Thanks to them, and thanks to you for tuning in.

It’s also been an exciting year for collaborations in The Ghostly Store. We’ve introduced everything from new art editions (Brandon Locher, Andy Gilmore, Matthew Shlian x Tim Saccenti) to umbrellas, leashes, and bento boxes. All of which, alongside music, make great gifts this season.

“A love letter to the eternal city of techno,” as Red Bull Radio put it, Heathered Pearls’ new EP presents four pulsing memories re-imagined – complete with bricks lifted from those formative spaces for its cover art.

20 years ago, Ann Arbor’s Tadd Mullinix began exploring instrumental hip-hop under the name Dabrye. Across two resulting albums for Ghostly International – One/Three and Two/Three – and Instrmntl on fellow label Eastern Developments, Dabrye became a key progenitor of ‘00s beat music in the path of collaborator J Dilla.

Today, we make all three Dabrye albums available on vinyl for the first time — One/Three, Two/Three, and Instrmntl – alongside the long-awaited release of Three/Three. The latter, a razor-sharp rap album featuring DOOM, Ghostface Killah, Danny Brown among others, brings to completion a prophetic trilogy which started 17 years ago.

Available as individual LPs and in limited edition box set (edition of 500).

As we know, the recent storms that have devastated Puerto Rico and the surrounding islands are nothing short of catastrophic. Amid the race to rebuild, many islanders are still without the necessities instrumental for day to day survival. To show our support, Ghostly will be donating our share of profits from all Bandcamp sales between Friday, October 20th through Sunday, October 22nd to the Hurricane Maria Community Recovery Fund. More info about the recovery fund can be found here.

On Wednesday, October 25th, 2017, we’re excited to take part in Ghostly Knowledge Share with local youth at The Neutral Zone in Ann Arbor.

The event features talks and workshops hosted by Ghostly artists and staff, on topics like home recording, visual art, and starting your own label. The goal is to give this younger generation a first-hand opportunity to engage with creatives and help demystify the process by which one begins and flourishes in the field – both as an artist and in other occupations related to the music industry.

The Neutral Zone is a diverse, youth-driven teen center dedicated to promoting personal growth through artistic expression, community leadership and the exchange of ideas. The center was founded in 1998 as a safe place where teens could congregate after school and on weekends. They came of age around the same time as Ghostly and have been a staple of the community ever since.
